Summary

This quote suggests that a lack of material wealth or resources does not prevent someone from achieving success or fulfilling their potential. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of one's mindset and attitude (empty heads) as well as their lack of compassion, empathy, or drive (empty hearts) as the true hindrances to personal progress. In essence, it suggests that it is not material circumstances but rather the lack of intellectual and emotional nourishment that can limit a person's potential and hold them back from achieving their goals.
